Restless Years

As I'm walking down yesteryear's lane
Past the houses and homes of my life
Deserted and empty no lights
In the windows at night it's all quiet
I've been searching in all of these rooms
Rattling at closed doors and cryin'
But those years have been fading in time
Like a book that's been never read twice
Goddamn I haven't seen before
Call me stupid, call me blind
A prospect of what might have been
Unnervingly entering my mind
Listening to Bruce all night long
As he's driving away in a stolen car
Down the road
Riding by night
Down the highways and byways of time
Strange but I seem to be back again
From these restless years
Sure it comes as a surprise
But I'm still here
More different than I thought I am
No more prey to blind fear
I'm back again no more being departed, my friend.

Wondering why everyone just walked away
Left all fucked up one fine day
Acting in very strange ways
I couldn't find the right words to say
But now I see it was all just my fault
Every romance comes to a grinding halt
When you lose yourself in someone else
Instead of cutting your own path, my friend
Rewrite the story of my life
Forgive and forget if you can
No more dyin' for you under your balcony blue
Been there, done that several times
Yes, I can live on top of the mountain
It's not cold and forsaken at all
There with you
Me and you
Yes we've opened the door to a new world
Strange but I seem to be back again
From these restless years
Sure it comes as a surprise
But I'm still here
More different than I thought I am
No more prey to blind fear
I'm back again no more being departed, my friend
Strange but I seem to be back again
From these restless years
Sure it comes as a surprise
Stay here, stay near
Stronger than I thought I am
Forget about the tears
I'm back again no more being departed, my friend.
